    Khoya Rava Laddu Recipe – Super simple and delicious Indian sweet balls made with semolina, mawa (milk solids), cardamom and nuts.

    What is Rava Khoya Laddu?

    It is a super simple Indian dessert or sweet ball made with semolina or sooji and khoya (milk solids). It is one of the easy Indian sweets that can be prepared under 30 minutes. We Indians make a variety of sweets or mithai during festivals like Diwali, Holi, Rakhi and Ganesh Chaturthi and these sooji ladoos are perfect to try on festive days.

    These Sooji Mawa Ladoos

    • are super easy to make
    • can be stored for 4-5 days
    • are perfect for festivals or gifting
    • made with fewer ingredients

    Ingredients needed

    Semolina: Semolina is also known as sooji or rava in India. I have used the regular rava that we use to make upma. If you find the yellow coarse semolina, you can use it.

    Khoya: Khoya or mawa is dried whole milk. You can find it in Indian stores or can make it at home. Check my Homemade Khoya to make your own. Read more about mawa here.

    Ghee: Fresh homemade ghee will give the best taste and flavor to any Indian dish. Use the best quality store-bought ghee if you don’t have the homemade one.

    Cardamom: I have used cardamom pods for the better flavor. If you have ground cardamom, use ½ tsp of it.

    Nuts: Use any of your favorite nuts here. I used cashew nuts.

    Sugar

    How long can I store them?

    They will be good in an airtight container for 4-5 days at room temperature.

    Why I am unable to roll them?

    They need to be shaped when the mixture is still warm. If you are unable to roll them, add little more hot ghee or hot milk to it and try again. If you use milk, the shelf life of the sweet will be reduced.

    Serving Suggestions:

    • Serve them as a sweet snack along with a cup of coffee or tea.
    • It can be served as a prasadam or naivedyam during festivals such as Ganesh Chaturthi or Navratri.
    • Arrange them in a gift box and distribute to your friends and family on Diwali

    Tips to make the best mawa rava ladoo:

    • Always roast semolina over a low flame to prevent it from burning.
    • Make sure the rava is a light brown color and roasted well.
    • Do not add sugar powder when the mawa-semolina is hot.Let the mixture cools down before adding sugar. When it is warm enough to touch add ground sugar.
